We make pizzas every week for the boys' lunches (Thursday is pizza day at school and they don't like feeling left out). I had some extra dough this week, so I made these bread sticks to go with our pasta dinner. So, I guess this recipe is really only easy if you already have some dough on hand (I just couldn't pass up the rhyming title). I used Isa's recipe from Vegan With a Vengeance, but any pizza dough recipe will suffice since they are all pretty much the same. Try this one, if you like. The nutritional yeast develops a nice flavour after being baked in the oven, giving these sticks a cheesy taste. Perfect for mopping up extra sauce!

INGREDIENTS

- pizza dough

- olive oil

- garlic powder

- nutritional yeast

METHOD

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

I made garlic bread sticks a couple weeks ago with the dough that I was too lazy to make into strombolli. I used melted Earth Balance, garlic powder and the parmesan copycat called 'Vegan Grated Topping' from Galaxy International Foods. The taste reminded me exactly of Pizza Hut breadsticks.

But next time I think I'll add some nutritional yeast, which I generally do to every food dish anyway.
